I struggle to find the words to describe how I feel on the loss today, of our dear friend Graeme (Fish) Fisher.
He fought to the end and was always upbeat in the past weeks, even when the stakes were heavily against him.
Cancer touches us all. It is uncaring and ruthless in the way it does so.
I am so very sad tonight and can only say that we will support Charlotte, her lovely wee lads and family as much as we can. (SMc)
